pats did a 60 share sunday, sox did a 50 share friday and saturday, this is for all you people who still believe the media that this is a baseball town, facts are the facts, and the number of games argument is out the window with the playoffs

After that marathon game Saturday night (outcome didn't help), I had trouble watching last night's Sox game (outcome didn't help). People are complaining about Goodell, but at least he's doing something (yeah, some of it very questionable). Selig doesn't try to do anything about the marathon games. Of course, he's an overall wimp to be sure. Football is sooooo much better a sport to watch nowadays, and I'm pretty balanced in my liking of the two sports.

No, it's not, because every NFL game is more important than an MLB game. (E.g., the Sox had a game the day before and after that one.) The only "fair" comparison might be a Game 7 in LCS/World Series vs. NFL playoff game - that is, two equally decisive games going head-to-head. But that can't happen, due to the season schedules...

[Edit] Want to remind everyone that I am not a big Sox fan...the Sox are what one watches between Patriots games, imo

If the Patriots played all 16 games at home, and every one sold out, that would be about 70,000 * 16 = 1,120,000, less than half of that.

But I guess number of games doesn't matter...

[P.S. the point is that # of games DOES matter, and straight-up ratings comparisons are BS, even if they are head-to-head.]

we are talking tv ratings, what people are watching, if you dont get it thats not my fault the price of baseball tickets adds to the volume , your comparing apples and oranges, we are talking about how many people are watching, the pats win , this is the sox playoff, the pats are in the regular seson and their game is not in prime time, they still win, i hope this clears this up because by your posts your are obviuosly confused
